'Der Meteorologe' (the meteorologist) is a weak noun (N-declension). This means it takes the ending '-n' in all cases except the nominative singular. A common mistake is forgetting this ending.

I heard the meteorologist on the radio.
Wir sprachen mit dem Meteorologen über den Klimawandel.
We spoke with the meteorologist about climate change.
The ending '-loge' always refers to a person who is an expert in a particular scientific field. It is derived from the Greek 'logos' (study, word).
Ein Biologe ist Experte für Biologie, ein Geologe für Geologie.
A biologist is an expert in biology, a geologist in geology.
This word belongs to a family: 'die Meteorologie' (meteorology) is the scientific field, and 'meteorologisch' (meteorological) is the related adjective.
Sie studiert Meteorologie an der Universität.
She is studying meteorology at the university.
